I think the Octo is actually unique rather than the rest of the integrated bracelet watches. It’s the only nautilus alternative is actually consider

Other than the AP Royal Oak, don't think any of these new comers are anywhere worthly of being subsitutes of the Nautilus to be frank. Just #metoo offerings trying to capitalize on the recent SS luxury sports watch craze.

Here is a rendering from The Versatile Gent of how a Lange Sports watch may look. Like it?

I am kind of new to the watch game, but I always compare it to the car industry. I remember when BMW made the first X5 and there were so many discussions and criticism. How BMW is abandoning its DNA, and then all of a sudden everyone bar Ferrari is making an SUV.
The Macan is the volume maker for Porsche, Lamborghini got one, Maseratti got one, Rolls Royce got one, Mercedes redid the entire line, and BMW now offers in every shape or form. Range Rover for me is the equivalent of Audemars Piguet, they only produce SUV/ sports watches (AP are more than that, but few ppl care about the rest). I do not see Chopard and the rest as a competitor to the Nautilus, I see them as cheaper options in the same segment. I do not believe that the sports watch craze is a trend, I think it will be the volume maker for almost anybody. The way the SUV replaced the estate/touring as the family car, the sports stainless steel watch has overwhelmingly become the everyday watch, and the best one watch collection. For me the real alternative is the Overseas. I was in the VC Boutique in Geneva last weekend, and the watch is a killer for the right price. It has 3 straps, quick change option, and it is the perfect one watch collection. I find the chrono a tad too tick, but I prefer it over the three hander. I still prefer the Aquanaut, but if something goes wrong, most likely I will go for the Overseas. |

Ferrari makes an SUV. I saw one at a resort we stayed at. So does Rolls, saw one of those too (it looked like a Ford or Chevy).

Rolls does. The Cullinan. Ferrari does not make an SUV. They will make one in the future the Purosangue. But it’s still several years away. You probably saw the FF or Lusso which is a 4 door hatchback.
